Holiday Traffic and good parking karma

Clint and I did some Christmas shopping today. We left the house at noon and needed to be back by 3:00. I'm thinking we'd never get all of it done and as usual, if it crosses my brain it exits the mouth. Clint was convinced we could. So, first stop Walgreens, then the Dollar Tree. We went from there to a cigar store for cigar boxes (instead of gift bags) then to Secret Garden Candles (there is a new one at 81st and Harvard). Next was WalMart Neighborhood Market, True Value Hardware and finally the cleaners. We actually made it home at 2:55, just in time for me to eat a little crow. I hate it when I'm wrong and Clint is right. I'm sure it was because we got great parking places at all our stops and we didn't go anywhere near the mall:)
We went to the PSO Parade of Lights Christmas parade this evening. We went with Bert, Andrea and Mackyna. Before the parade, we met them at Joe Mamma's pizza for dinner. Wyatt, Ashlee, Ethan, Keaton & Adam (2 of the boys' friends) went with us to dinner. We had a good time. I'm so blessed that Wyatt and Ethan have a really good group of friends. They are really neat kids. One of Wyatt's buddies is going to spend Christmas with us. He's coming in on leave from the Marine Corp before he ships out to Afganistan in March.
I finished up a 4 day workshop on Autism. I really learned a lot. I had the stomach flu
